I recently bought a parrot minidrone and was playing around with it. I was not able to do anything fancy other than moving it from one side to another. At this time, I came across this blog and realized that programming a drone could mean that you can get some really complicated maneuvers to work. The blog link above provides a step-by-step instructions on how to install the necessary support for programming your parrot minidrone.
Drones are hard to program, but one can understand how they are going to behave using simulations. This could be the difference between your drone being able to do something fancy or something terrible 
. If you are interested in simulating your drones and want to get started, this page is a great resource. Here is a video that shows precise control of the parrot minidrone (first hovering at a fixed height and then moving from left to right at the same height) -
If you want to learn more on how to simulate minidrones and deploy your algorithms directly to the PARROT minidrone with the click of a button, register for this upcoming webinar on Programming Drones with Simulink that will be on December 7th.
